Grand Teton National Park

With an elevation of 13,775ft, Grand Teton is the highest peak in the park and one of eight with an elevation above 12,000ft.

Lined up side-by-side like a jagged comb, these glacier-carved peaks pack a visual punch as they shoot from the valley floor. They also look impenetrable when driving between Jackson and Yellowstone, but first-glance views are deceiving. More than 240 miles of trails crisscross the park, some twisting past wildflowers, meadows, and lakes in the front-country while others follow canyons deep into the Teton Range and the backcountry. Gentle Jenny Lake, stretching along the eastern front-country, is an inviting spot to soak up the mountain views.
